1 Swift/XRT follow-up observations of unidentified INTEGRAL/IBIS sources L. Bassani A. Malizia J. B. Stephen A. Bazzano INAF/IASF Roma, Via Fosso del Cavaliere 100, Roma, Italy M. Fiocchi INAF/IASF Roma, Via Fosso del Cavaliere 100, Roma, Italy A. J. Bird School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Southampton, Highfield, SO17 1BJ, UK Many sources listed in the 4 th IBIS/ISGRI survey are still unidentified, i.e. lacking an X-ray counterpart or simply not studied at lower energies (< 10 kev). The cross-correlation between the list of IBIS sources in the 4 th catalogue and the Swift/XRT data archive is of key importance to search for the X-ray counterparts; in fact, the positional accuracy of few arcseconds obtained with XRT allows us to perform more efficient and reliable follow-up observations at other wavelengths (optical, UV, radio). In this work, we present the results of the XRT observations for four new gamma-ray sources: IGR J , IGR J , IGR J and IGR J For IGR J we find a likely counterpart, but further information are needed to classified this object, IGR J is found to be a Seyfert 1.9, for IGR J we suggest a possible AGN nature, while IGR J is classified as a Seyfert 1.5 galaxy.

Also plotted is the position (smaller red circle) of a ROSAT Bright Survey source (1RXS J ) located 1 away from source #1. Right panel: XRT spectrum of source #1, the likely counterpart of IGR J , fitted with a power law passing through Galactic absorption. 1. IGR J Within the IBIS positional uncertainty (see Bird et al. 2010), XRT reveals two X-ray source (see Figure 1, left panel). Source #1 has a counterpart in the United States Naval Observatory (USNO B1.0, Monet et al. 2003) catalogue with magnitude R , also listed in the 2MASS (2 Micron All Sky Survey, Skrutskie et al. 2006) survey, with magnitudes J 15.4, H 15.2 and K For source #2 (located at R.A.(J2000) = 12 h 12 m 32 s.40, Dec(J2000) = , error radius 6.0 and only detected below 4 kev) we did not find a counterpart in any database, thus suggesting that deeper X-ray observations are needed to investigate its nature. As can be seen in the left panel of Figure 1, at 1 away from source #1 there is also the ROSAT source 1RXS J , which is detected at 3σ but only at soft energies (< 3 kev). Although this source belongs to the ROSAT Bright survey, during the XRT pointing appears weak, having a 2 10 kev flux of erg cm 2 s 1 assuming a power law model with the photon index frozen to 1.8. This behaviour seems to indicate a variable nature for this source, thus making unlikely its association with the IBIS detections, which instead is listed as persistent in the 4 th survey. From the above considerations, we conclude that source #1 is the likely candidate for 2
3 Figure 2: Left panel: XRT kev image of the region surrounding IGR J The green circle represents the 90% IBIS error circle, while the two X-ray sources detected by XRT within and at the border of it are labelled as #2 and #3. Source #1 is the fainter source detected by XRT within the 99% IBIS error circle. Right panel: XRT spectrum of source #3, the likely counterpart of IGR J , fitted with an absorbed power law. the IBIS detection. The X-ray spectrum of source #1 (see Figure 1, right panel) is well modelled with a power law passing through Galactic absorption (Kalberla et al. 2005) and having a flat photon index (Γ 1.3) and a 2 10 kev flux of erg cm 2 s 1 (see Table 2). Although we were able to find the X-ray and optical counterpart of IGR J , the information collected so far do not allow us to draw any conclusion about its class. Therefore, optical follow-up observations are needed to determine the real nature of this new gamma-ray source. 2. IGR J In this case, three X-ray sources are detected within the IBIS positional uncertainty (Bird et al. 2010) as can be seen in Figure 2, left panel): source #1 is detected within the 99% IBIS error circle, while source #2 and #3 are located at the border and inside of the 90% IBIS uncertainty, respectively. Source #1, located at R.A.(J2000) = 12 h 47 m 38 s.10, Dec(J2000) = , error radius = 6.0, is the faintest object, being detected only at 3.3σ in kev, and its position is consistent with an object classified as a star (HIP 62427). The XRT position of source #2 (R.A.(J2000) = 12 h 47 m 41 s.57, Dec(J2000) = , error radius 3.9), which is the brightest object at soft energies, coincides with a double or multiple star CCDM J AB and with a ROSAT Faint Survey source (1RXS J ), not yet classified. The only object still visible above 3 kev is source #3; it has a counterpart in a USNO B1.0 source having magnitude R = , and it is also listed in the 2MASS Extended survey (2MASX J ). The X-ray position is also compatible with a radio source belonging to the MGPS 2 (Molonglo Galactic Plane Survey 2nd Epoch Compact Source, Murphy et al. 2007) catalogue, with a 36 cm flux of 16.5 ± 1.1 mjy. 3

Figure 3: Left panel: XRT kev image of the region surrounding IGR J The green and yellow circles represent the IBIS and BAT position and uncertainty, respectively, while the red box shows the location of the 2MASS Extended object (2MASX J ) proposed as counterpart. Right panel: XRT spectrum of source #1, the proposed counterpart of IGR J , fitted with an absorbed power law. Source #1 and #2 have very soft X-ray spectra well modelled with a thermal bremsstrahlung with kt 0.4 kev and a 2 10 kev flux of erg cm 2 s 1 and erg cm 2 s 1, respectively. These characteristics combined with their coincidence with stellar objects makes unlikely their associations with the IBIS source. The X-ray spectrum of source #3 (see Figure 2, right panel) is fitted with a flat (Γ 0.9) slightly absorbed power law, having a 2 10 kev flux of erg cm 2 s 1 (see Table 2). The fit is still acceptable if we fix the photon index to 1.8 and provides a high intrinsic absorption of cm 2. This source shows a flux variability of a factor of 2.5 on a time-scale of a few months during XRT pointings. These properties suggest its associations with IGR J and, in particular, its characteristics in radio and infrared seem to indicate that we are dealing with an AGN. This suggestion has recently been confirmed by optical follow-up observations (Masetti et al. in preparation). 4
5 Figure 4: Left panel: XRT kev image of the region surrounding IGR J Only one X-ray object (source #1) is detected by XRT within the IBIS uncertainty. Right panel: XRT spectrum of source #1, the proposed counterpart of IGR J , fitted with a simple power law passing through Galactic absorption plus a blackbody component to account for the soft X-ray emission observed below 2 kev. 3. IGR J There is only one source detected in the whole XRT field of view, which is well located in the middle of the IBIS error circle (Bird et al. 2010). It has a counterpart in a 2MASS Extended object (2MASX J ) pointing to a galaxy still unclassified. It is also listed in the USNO B1.0 catalogue with magnitude R = The XRT position is compatible with a radio source belonging to the MGPS 2 catalogue with a 36 cm flux of 35.4 ± 1.6 Jy. As shown in Figure 3 (left panel), despite the partial overlap between the IBIS uncertainty and the BAT error circle of Swift J , the 2MASS Extended object, proposed by Tueller et al. (2010) as the counterpart of the BAT source, is well located within the IBIS uncertainty, but it is 1.9 away from the border of the BAT error circle and 9.4 from the BAT centroid position. This makes less convincing the association between the BAT detection and the 2MASS Extended galaxy, while is more clear its connection with the IBIS detection. If we fit the XRT spectrum (see Figure 3, right panel) with an absorbed power law by fixing the photon index to 1.8, we find an absorption in excess to the Galactic one of cm 2 and a 2 10 kev flux of erg cm 2 s 1 (see Table 2). Based on the multiwaveband characteristics, we propose for IGR J an absorbed AGN classification. 4. IGR J This source recently appeared in the Swift/BAT survey of Cusumano et al. (2010) where it is associated with a 2MASS Extended object (2MASX J ) classified as a Seyfert 1.5 (Véron-Cetty & Véron 2001). Indeed, the only source detected by XRT within the IBIS error circle (Bird et al. 2010), as shown in Figure 4, left panel, coincides with the infrared object, which has a counterpart in the USNO B1.0 catalogue with magnitude R = and it is also 5
6 listed in the XMM-Newton Slew Survey (XMMSL1 J ) with a kev flux of erg cm 2 s 1, lower than the range measured during the XRT pointings ( ( ) erg cm 2 s 1 ) in the same energy band. The fit of the X-ray spectrum, in addition to the power law passing through Galactic absorption (Kalberla et al. 2005), requires a blackbody component to account for the presence of soft emission below 2 kev (see Figure 4, right panel and Table 2). This best-fit model provides a photon index Γ 1.4 and a blackbody temperature kt 81 ev. No extra absorption in excess to the Galactic one is required by the data. The source shows a flux variability of a factor of 1.3 with a time-scale of a few months, but no changes in the spectral shape are observed. The X-ray properties are compatible with the AGN classification proposed for this source. 5. Conclusions In this work, we show how follow-up observations in X-rays are of key importance to search for counterparts of high energy emitters. The cross-correlation between the 4 th IBIS catalogue and the Swift/XRT data archive allowed us to pinpoint unambiguously the counterpart of four IBIS sources. IGR J is classified as a Seyfert 1.9 galaxy, while the X-ray properties of IGR J are compatible with its classification as a Seyfert 1.5 galaxy; based on its X-ray characteristics, IGR J is likely an AGN, while for IGR J the data available so far do not allow us to assess its nature and only optical measurements are needed to firmly establish the nature of this new gamma-ray source.
